By

Kannadasan

Translated  by

P.R.Ramachander

1. Kalangathiru  maname-nee,

Kalangathiru  maname-un,

Kanavellam nanavaagum , oru dhiname

1.Oh mind do not get upset –You,

Please do not get upset-your,

Dreams   one day would become real,

2.Kadina padamal yethum kaikku varaathu,

Kashtapaduvaar   thammai   kai nazhuvaathu,

Aduthaduthu  muyandraal,

Aagathethu ,AAgathethu

2.Without  any effort  nothing would come to your hand,

And to those  who  do hard work, nothing would be lost from their hand,

If we try  and then again keep on trying,

Which is not possible to be done,

Which is not possible to be done.

3,Aan vadai koodathenru

Alliyum oru naal,

Arjunan valai thanil,

Veezhnthanaal  sariyai.

One day queen  Alli,

Who did not want the scent of a man,

Perfectly  fell in the net of Arjuna.

4.Pagattukkaka   ummai ,

Parkkave maruthalum ,

Paruvakalam avalai

Paadai paduthi vidum.

4.THough for being fashionable  ,

She did not want to see you ,

The season of youth in her,

Would trouble her  greatly

5.Adutha kanam un mel ,

ASayum vaippal,

AAhahaa hahaa yendru ,

Muthamum koduppal .

5. In the next moment  ,

She would develop love ,

Ha, ha, ha, ha like that ,

She would also give a kiss.
